The New York Jets continued to receive bad breaks on the injury front as Kenrick Ellis and Eric Smith will both be added to the growing list of players who will miss this week's game against the Colts.

Ellis injured his knee in Monday night's loss to the Texans, and Smith suffered a knee injury at practice on Wednesday.

The time frame on Ellis' injury was originally thought to be much shorter, but the sprain may keep him out until December.

Smith's injury came at practice on Wednesday when the safety sprained his knee trying to break up a pass. The injury comes at an inopportune time for Smith who saw increased playing against the Texans at the expense of LaRon Landry.

The Jets' defensive tackle position is in flux as the only definite veteran that is set for Sunday's game is Mike DeVito. SionePouha still hasn't practiced this week and his status remains doubtful.

Other defensive tackle options for the Jets on Sunday include undrafted free agent Damon Harrison, who has five career snaps played and Daniel Muir, who was signed yesterday and hasn't played a down this year.

The injury to Smith is new and the Jets haven't yet addressed how they will deal with it. Rookie Josh Bush saw his first action on defense last week when he played two snaps, so he is a possibility.

Antonio Allen is still on the team's practice squad, so that option is there as well.
